INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM (IDS) PRODUCT SURVEY

This survey is intended to be a comprehensive compilation and categorization of currently available intrusion detection system (IDS) commercial products. It was undertaken at the instigation and with the support of the Global Security Analysis Laboratory at IBM’s Zurich Research Laboratory in Rueschlikon, Switzerland. It is based almost entirely on published reports, published product evaluations, and vendorsupplied product information. Prior to publication, considerable effort was expended attempting to contact every referenced vendor, so that they might point out and suggest corrections. The comments by those who responded were reviewed carefully and incorporated where appropriate. This survey does not recommend or endorse any specific product or service; it is intended wholly as a resource for those interested in the current state and the ongoing evolution of IDS products and what that implies for IDS research and development.
